Installing the 9A656-04 Module
SmartSwitch 9500 modules can be installed in any of the slots that are available.
To install a module, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the blank plate covering the slot in which the 9A656-04 will be
installed. All other slots must remain covered to ensure proper airßow and
cooling. (Save the blank plate in the event you need to remove the module.)
2. Unpack the 9A656-04 by carefully removing it from the shipping box. (Save
the box and packing materials in the event the module must be reshipped.)
3. Remove the 9A656-04 from the plastic bag. (Save the bag in the event the
module must be reshipped.) Observe all precautions to prevent damage from
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
4. Examine the 9A656-04 for damage. If any damage exists, DO NOT install the
module. Immediately contact the Cabletron Systems Global Call Center.
5. Install the 9A656-04 module in the chassis by aligning the module card
between the upper and lower metal slot guides of any available slot, sliding it
into the chassis, and locking down the top and bottom plastic tabs, as shown
in Figure 2-1. Take care that the 9A656-04 slides in straight and properly
engages the backplane connectors.

CAUTION
The 9A656-04 may be removed from the chassis while it is operational, but a brief
system downtime will result. When the interface module is removed, the remaining
modules attached to the CTM go through an initialization process to determine
which interface module will become the module that performs specific
management functions.
